This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning.
With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it.

*Ayana Brooks, Chicago, IL: "Dear EUR,when I first heard about theGhettopoly game, I thought it was a joke!However, upon visiting the website, I realizethat this guy was very serious, and he has other'thug' games on the way. I wrote a letter tohim, and the following is his response: 'Should I boycott every single black comedianwho makes jokes about Asian Americans? Is Jay Lenoa racist because he made a comment about Asian people eating dogs? How about Dave Chappell, ishe a racist too? Do you think the puppets theyuse on Crank Yankers are stereotypical too? How about Snoop dog, is his show on MTV racist too?What do you think when Rappers rap about 'Chinkeyes' or 'eyes slanted like' are they all racisttoo? Or how Asians are portrayed in Black Movies? I think before you pass judgment on my game,you should first see it. I am sorry that my lastname is of Asian decent, maybe if my last name isof Simmons, you would not be so harsh. There is allethnic groups in Ghettopoly. Including Asian, Irish,Jewish, Hispanics, White, Italians, just like the realGhetto. Remember,the game is called Ghettopoly notBlackopoly. Look up in the dictionary of the meaningof the word Satire. I hope from this email that youknow I am not a racist person but a person who simplydecided to make a game that is not boring.'"

*Kelrae in Chicago: "C'mon now!! Whats wrong with ghettopoly? I seeworse stuff than that on BET and MTV and these programsreach people internationally, from the music videos toSnoop's new black exploitation show. Did white folksor black folks make the game? Or should that mattersince most of the producers of these degrading blackvideos are white as well. If the game offends you,then protest and don't buy it. Otherwise just acceptit as another stab in the face of the black struggleas you bob your head up and down to the sweet soundsof 'I'll Slap that Black Ho!' (a made up title thatI'm sure will soon be on the playlist of some new rapsong ... if it hasnt already been used)."

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

You will note that there are other new forms of Cultural Poisoning coming.Hudopoly, HipHopopoly, thugopoly and RedNeckopoly

So what should u do about this new form of Cultural Poisoning? Attack!

For the answer a more complete answer see DoubleSpeak in Black and White, page 155 "The Seven Point Cultural Poisoning Attack". See point five Educate or Attack Cultural Poisoning users.

P.S. CLMin : Indiginus Peoples day (A.K.A. Columbus day) next October if you are going to celebrate, celebrate the Culturally Healty Day.

2008 update: Wikified by Zamata.Note: Ghettopoly was successfully attacked by Cultural Soldiers and the courts ordered the manufacture to halt production of the "game". Thanks to all in the BlogOsphere and on the earth that fought the good fight.

I plan to use knols in my mission as units of knowledge that are longer then Cultural Literacy Minutes (one or two sentences) but shorter then, and more focused then, a wikipedia article.

I see knols as a write once, link many times CyberTool

I will link to them in my online discussions to add information regarding common repeat Cultural Health questions and/or to address common Cultural Literacy misunderstandings or information gaps. I expect this will save me writing time. I hope others interested in Cultural Health will also find these knols to be time saving information providing links in their own cultural discussions.

Much of Cultural Poisoning is caused by Cultural AIDS (Acquired Information Deficiency Syndrome). The good news is, a cultural knol can be a good antidote to this aspect of the dis-ease.

I am African American, so my focus is African. However, Cultural Health is relevant to all ethnicity's. If someone wants to collaborate on an Asian, Caucasian, multi-ethnic or other Cultural Health knol, let me know.
